CNN sounds like they've lost the VEEP debate already

Their headline just grabbed me, even though I never watch or read CNN bcause it's become so much more left-of-center in its reporting than it used to be 8 years ago (just one recent proof of that described here). Another proof is that CNN ditched its notably fair and relatively centrist, non-left-leaning "Newsnight with Aaron Brown" (see the UCLA study linked to above) in 2005 (one year after that study was published? Hmmmmm...) in favor of its more left-of-center reporting ever since.

Today's headline? "VP debate no game-changer, but could shift momentum." Ummmm, but a "shift in momentum" is the exact definition of "game-changer". Watch any high school football game for proof of that.

Then CNN tries to spin what even they expect to be an embarrassment for the Democrats tonight so that you won't be upset or worried by their second debate loss:

Yes, the debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan is sure to be entertaining, and it comes at an important moment in a highly competitive presidential campaign. But let's not get carried away.

Some healthy context, courtesy of Republican pollster Whit Ayres: "Dan Quayle got his clock cleaned in his VP debate and still ended up as vice president."

"Let's not get carried away?" What, are we sitting at my kitchen table over a cup of coffee? Conversational journalism? Feh.

Translation: "We anticipate Joe Biden to perform badly in this debate too, but you're not voting for him, you're re-electing Obama. So get over it."

Not buying that most of the media Democrats favor is skewed far left of center? Read on.

And if you'd rather not read but listen, go here.
He's the UCLA Professor (that is, UCLA, one of the most liberal colleges on the planet), who published, in 2004 in MIT's Quarterly Journal of Economics, this study:

Our results show a strong liberal bias. All of the news outlets except Fox News’ Special Report and the Washington Times received a score to the left of the average member of Congress. Consistent with many conservative critics, CBS Evening News and the New York Times received a score far left of center. Outlets such as the Washington Post, USA Today, NPR’s Morning Edition, NBC’s Nightly News and ABC’s World News Tonight were moderately left. The most centrist outlets (but still left-leaning) by our measure were the Newshour with Jim Lehrer, CNN’s NewsNight with Aaron Brown, and ABC’s Good Morning America. Fox News’ Special Report, while right of center, was closer to the center than any of the three major networks’ evening news broadcasts. All of our findings refer strictly to the news stories of the outlets. That is, we omitted editorials, book reviews, and letters to the editor from our sample.

"After Abortion,...run by Emily Peterson and Annie Banno, two women who had abortions in the 1970s, ...tries to avoid the political tug-of-war that tends to come with this turf. They concentrate instead on discussing the troubling personal effects of abortion on the mothers." ~ Eric Scheske, Godspy contributing editor, in NC Register's "Signs of Life in the Blogosphere", 2/2006

"I would now like to say a special word to women who have had an abortion...[many are] aware of the many factors which may have influenced your decision, and [do] not doubt that it was a painful and even shattering decision. The wound in your heart may not yet have healed. Certainly what happened was and remains terribly wrong. But do not give in to discouragement and do not lose hope. Try rather to understand what happened and face it honestly. If you have not already done so, give yourselves over with humility and trust to repentance. The Father of mercies is ready to give you his forgiveness and his peace...You will come to understand that nothing is definitively lost and you will also be able to ask forgiveness from your child..."
